[RESOLVED] ADODB.Recordset wont use the Find Method.

[josephine]

trying to find a record in a Recordset,
both with a numeric value, and with a string value.

but ADO wont let me...

Private Sub CboPrice_Click()
Dim ConnString As String
ConnString = "Provider= Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & "Data Source=" & App.Path & "\ProPsmDb.mdb;" & "Persist Security Info=False"
Set CN_Price = New ADODB.Connection
CN_Price.ConnectionString = ConnString
CN_Price.Open ConnString
Set RS_Price = New ADODB.Recordset
RS_Price.Open "select * from price", CN_Price, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic, adCmdText
 
RS_Price.Find "ptext" = CboPrice.Text ' Ptext is a string value 
RS_Price.Find "id" = CboPrice.ItemData(CboPrice.ListIndex) ' numeric value
 
txtName.Text = RS_Price!pricename
txtPrice.Text = RS_Price!price

errors are:
1. "Argument are of the wrong type" = search with string value
2. "type mismatch" = serarch with numeric value

why wont it find?? would very much appreciate any help...

tnx in advance 2 any ideas/suggestions.

How about

Dim sSQL As String
 
sSQL = "SELECT ptext, id FROM pricename WHERE ptext = '" & CboPrice.Text & "'"
sSQL = sSQL & "AND id = " & CboPrice.ItemData(CboPrice.ListIndex)
 
RS_Price.Open sSQL, CN_Price, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic
 
txtName.Text = RS_Price.Fields.Item("ptex").Value
txtPrice.Text = RS_Price.Fields.Item("id").Value

Good.

Just one final note. I see so many, many people doing a SELECT * when all they need is one or two fields. Unless you need every field in your table in a recordset, then just SELECT what you need. In fact, even when I need all of the fields, I will list them all out in my SELECT.

very well! duly noted and will implement.

last tnx for the help and the guidance Hack.
